    New to this forum

    I've been in the recycling industry for about 7yrs and Last year I purchased a scrap yard in Cleveland TN that had been closed for several months. I have been building up a new customer base and in doing so I have met lots of people looking for breakdown of basic scrap categories. I decided to make some how to videos on some of the basics of scrapping to help educate not only my customers but anyone looking for help.



    sincerely

    Welcome to SMF from the Buffalo Commons. If you are not familiar with this term you might have to do some research.

    Your video's highlight a learning curve that many members of the forum had to learn the hard way. I am an example of this and wish I would have access to this knowledge a long time ago. Please continue to share your insight and expertise.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    I like the idea of the $.05 bonus on pricing with 2 cans of food per 100 pounds! At a yard here after your 10th trip, your next trip gets $.10 a pound increase on everything you bring in that trip!
